Important Safety Information
About Testing Yourself or Others
WARNING
DO NOT CHANGE YOUR THERAPY BASED
ON A TEST RESULT THAT DOES NOT
MATCH HOW YOU FEEL OR IF YOU
BELIEVE THAT YOUR TEST RESULT COULD
BE INCORRECT.
It is strongly recommended to have a
back‑up testing method available. Failure
to test could cause a delay in therapy
decisions and lead to a serious medical
condition. Examples of back‑up testing
methods include a back‑up meter and
test strips. Ask your healthcare
professional or pharmacist about other
possible back‑up methods.
If your blood glucose result does not
match how you feel and you have
followed the instructions in this User’s
Manual, follow your healthcare
professional’s instructions, or contact
your healthcare professional.
During normal testing, any blood glucose
meter or lancing device may come in
contact with blood. All parts of the kit are
considered biohazardous and can
potentially transmit infectious diseases
from bloodborne pathogens, even after
you have performed cleaning and
disinfecting.
1,2
The meter and lancing device should
never be used by more than one person.
Do not share the meter and lancing
device with anyone, including family
members, due to the risk of infection
from bloodborne pathogens.
1,2
Do not
use on multiple patients!
Cleaning and disinfecting the meter and
lancing device destroys most, but not
necessarily all, bloodborne pathogens.
3
If the meter is being operated by a
second person who is providing testing
assistance to the user, the meter and
lancing device should be cleaned and
disinfected prior to use by the second
person.
Disinfect the meter and lancing device
before allowing anyone else to handle
them. Do not allow anyone else to test
with the meter or lancing device.
It is important to keep the meter and
lancing device clean and disinfected. For
instructions on how to clean and
disinfect the meter and lancing device,
see the chapter Meter and Lancing
Device Cleaning and Disinfecting.
Wash hands and dry thoroughly before
and after handling the meter, lancing
device, or test strips.
